You may be crying right now because of some needs and desires that concerns you, your spouse, your children, your marriage, job, a home, office and family; you may be feeling inadequate and ashamed at the level of your productivity and success; you may be struggling in things that your colleagues and neighbors are not struggling with, and you may be battling an issue that you do not even know how they came about and when they will be over, but despite that, God had given you this life to meet a purpose that is bigger than your dreams, and also bigger than all of your challenges, and by God’s grace, your life will definitely be a success.
Despite your daily pains, God had destined your life to have a meaning and to impact other lives around you positively for His glory, that is why the devil is not giving up and is actively standing to directly question and frustrate those divine meanings in your life through the various delays in seeing your desires fulfilled, but despite all he will ever live to do, God will never allow him to have the success he desires over your life. The life you have right now is not only God’s gift to you; it is God’s gift to many around the world.
Despite your age, gender, location, language and profession, your life is very precious in every sense to our Lord God and likewise your desires. Before you were ever conceived and born, God had perfectly completed everything needed to preserve and protect your life effectively by giving you Jesus Christ as your Lord, and using Him to fulfill all that is require to meet every of your physical and spiritual desires and concerns on the cross at Calvary. Our lives, our desires and everything about mankind was at stake before Christ came into the world, but after His death on the cross and resurrection from the death, life became much more meaningful, purposeful and much more relevant to desire, to enjoy and to look up to.
Because of that provision through Jesus Christ, there is more meaning to the life you are having today despite what the devil is doing and saying to keep you back; despite the delays in meeting your expectations, in all the denials and frustrations in pursuing your dreams and desires. But despite all that, God had not declared life over for you yet; because of that provision on the cross, there is hope for you now and in the future, there is a greater expectation to life and to live; and there is every assurance that God will make you what He had destined in this life.
God has no difficulties blessing your life and meeting all of your needs; He has no problem providing for you, protecting the life He had given you and effectively protecting the things He had already bless you with and will bless you again as He gives you each new day and year. There is nothing that God had given you that is not a blessing already and there is nothing that the devil will do to take that away from you despite his efforts. The needs in your life may be much, the challenges overwhelming, and the desires unavoidably delayed and you are facing greater frustrations in life, but none will stop the life God had given you from going on because, life in itself is a blessing from your God.
“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.” John 10:9-13.
Your desires are very important, but life is more important and without life, there will never be a desire and there will never be a challenge. For prayers, Click here
